A learned and notable sermon vpon the text Vos autem non sic. But you not so Lately preached vpon speciall occasion, by M. Butler of Owndell, in S. Maries Church in the Vniuersity of Cambridge: and succinctly debating the chiefe matters, which are now in question in the Church of England. Verie profitable for the further resoluing of them, who being brought into suspence by the contradiction of ministers, are content to lend an indifferent eare vnto the truth.

i_o appeal_v to_o caesar_n as_o likewise_o by_o the_o godly_a and_o christian_a government_n of_o constantine_n theodosius_n and_o other_o allow_a of_o by_o so_o many_o so_o learned_a and_o godly_a father_n therefore_o supreme_a government_n be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n forbid_v civil_a government_n be_v likewise_o not_o forbid_v my_o reason_n be_v first_o if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o purpose_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o forbid_v civil_a government_n in_o all_o man_n he_o will_v have_v say_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n have_v rule_v but_o you_o not_o so_o or_o if_o his_o purpose_n have_v be_v to_o forbid_v it_o in_o the_o ministry_n he_o will_v have_v say_v the_o priest_n of_o israel_n do_v rule_v but_o you_o not_o so_o second_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o this_o place_n and_o in_o this_o verse_n do_v grant_v to_o his_o disciple_n that_o they_o may_v bear_v rule_n when_o as_o he_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d three_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o this_o place_n speak_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n in_o which_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o some_o to_o exercise_v civil_a authority_n four_o both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n the_o priest_n do_v

will_v object_v that_o this_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o old_a law_n but_o not_o in_o the_o new_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o old_a much_o more_o be_v it_o lawful_a in_o the_o new_a for_o if_o the_o priest_n when_o the_o feast_n be_v so_o many_o and_o their_o sacrifice_n as_o i_o may_v term_v they_o infinite_a may_v intend_v to_o exercise_v civil_a authority_n under_o prince_n much_o rather_o may_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o as_o their_o feast_n and_o sacrifice_n do_v cease_v and_o the_o gospel_n be_v far_o more_o plain_o and_o plentiful_o preach_v it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v far_o object_v what_o example_n have_v you_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o any_o apostle_n exercise_v civil_a authority_n under_o prince_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o example_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n yet_o do_v not_o that_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o than_o may_v we_o reason_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o example_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o any_o christian_a exercise_v the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n therefore_o the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n be_v not_o lawful_a i_o think_v if_o any_o shall_v so_o reason_v he_o will_v be_v account_v a_o mad_a man_n this_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o as_o we_o do_v reason_n from_o the_o old_a law_n for_o the_o establish_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n because_o it_o be_v god_n his_o own_o ordinance_n and_o that_o over_o his_o own_o people_n israel_n so_o from_o the_o same_o do_v we_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o minister_n to_o exercise_v civil_a authority_n because_o the_o priest_n by_o god_n his_o appointment_n do_v exercise_v civil_a authority_n under_o prince_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v still_o object_v yea_o but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o if_o it_o be_v so_o lawful_a that_o none_o or_o very_o few_o example_n be_v find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n of_o apostle_n or_o other_o minister_n exercise_v civil_a authority_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o take_v it_o there_o be_v two_o especial_a reason_n first_o because_o immediate_a delegation_n of_o authority_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o exceed_a favour_n as_o appear_v in_o herod_n his_o son_n and_o the_o agrippaes_n the_o authority_n be_v now_o especial_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o heathen_a prince_n wicked_a man_n and_o cruel_a tyrant_n such_o as_o hate_v christ_n the_o professor_n of_o christ_n and_o much_o more_o the_o preacher_n of_o christ_n such_o as_o the_o apostle_n be_v now_o to_o exercise_v authority_n without_o delegation_n they_o will_v not_o because_o of_o christ_n his_o word_n luke_n 12._o 14._o who_o have_v make_v i_o a_o ruler_n show_v that_o because_o he_o have_v not_o civil_a authority_n delegated_a he_o will_v not_o then_o exercise_v it_o a_o second_o reason_n which_o i_o also_o add_v to_o this_o be_v because_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v send_v to_o preach_v throughout_o all_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o have_v no_o certain_a place_n and_o country_n in_o which_o always_o to_o abide_v how_o can_v they_o exercise_v authority_n by_o delegation_n from_o prince_n see_v they_o have_v no_o continual_a abode_n in_o any_o place_n but_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v it_o unlawful_a for_o minister_n to_o exercise_v civil_a authority_n the_o apostle_n by_o their_o own_o example_n have_v this_o authority_n delegated_a with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o church_n have_v leave_v we_o sufficient_a light_n to_o see_v the_o lawfulness_n thereof_o first_o of_o all_o therefore_o we_o read_v act._n 4._o 35._o that_o the_o money_n be_v lay_v at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n if_o any_o deny_v that_o to_o be_v civil_a yet_o what_o be_v it_o to_o take_v account_n both_o what_o they_o sell_v and_o for_o how_o much_o which_o thing_n the_o apostle_n do_v but_o if_o any_o shall_v still_o say_v that_o this_o be_v not_o civil_a yet_o to_o divide_v those_o good_n must_v need_n be_v civil_a as_o appear_v by_o christ_n his_o word_n luke_n 12._o who_o have_v make_v i_o a_o ruler_n or_o a_o devider_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v divide_v this_o money_n it_o appear_v in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v lay_v at_o the_o apostle_n foot_n &_o divide_v why_o be_v it_o lay_v at_o their_o foot_n but_o to_o be_v divide_v again_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o do_v divide_v for_o afterward_o act_n 6._o they_o choose_v deacon_n to_o take_v from_o they_o the_o office_n of_o devide_v because_o the_o church_n be_v now_o great_a and_o they_o be_v to_o disperse_v themselves_o to_o preach_v to_o all_o the_o world_n second_o we_o read_v act._n 5._o that_o peter_n sit_v judicial_o upon_o saphira_n for_o there_o saphira_n appear_v before_o he_o &_o 7._o act._n
